she probably rides more than he does, so they'd probably be fine for his bike too.

Be nice to stosh, he's been sensitive lately.

 

[llkoolkeg]

They look kinda like Bontrager Race Lites or Mavic Ksyrium Elites.

Aren't these cool? I'd never seen them before and I bet they'd make night rides fun...especially after indulging in psilocybin tea.

Yeah and I've riddin all but on day this week.

I don't really have any experience with them myself. They are kind of Supergo specials. But if they don't require special tools to work on, they are tensioned properly, and are true and stay that way then they should be fine. I am leary of low spoke count wheels but they should be fine in most situations......jdcamb

She's running a pair of ROLF paired spoke now with no problems. She's short and light.

No problems with the Rolf? If so, why are you dropping more money on wheels?

Frankly, I'd never buy a proprietary wheelset like that. I'm a big fan of the normal hubs/spokes/rims so that they are easily replacable at any LBS and parts are interchangable if one of the other parts craps out on ya.

She wants disc brakes.

 

[stosh]

PS. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to wheelsets. I want something light for her but they don't have to be to strong because she's not heavy or to hard on her bike. I'm just looking right now... or I should say I'm just getting educated right now.

Tubeless XC rims on XT hubs. GREAT bang for the buck.

why do you say Tubeless?

 

[narlus]

i've never used vueltas but a friend of mine's built up wheels using their rims w/o any problems.

i'm w/ BV in terms of having wheels where you can get spokes easy and rebuilding/overhauling the hub is also standard stuff.

 

[stosh]

ok easy enough but what is a good/value XC tubless disc rim?
